miscarriage?

Question

Im waiting on a miscarriage to happen. My doc said it will happen sometime next week. Im 9 weeks pregnant almost 10. Im scared to death. Im just wondering how it will happen and what to expect. Its driving me nuts just waiting and not knowing whats going to happen and weather or not its going to happen while im sleeping or while im out somewhere. I have no clue. All answers would be greatly appreciated.

how bad is the pain?

Answer 1

I was pregnant in my tubes and I didn't know anything was wrong until I started bleeding and my belly was tender. I would make sure I had a pad or something close by just in case. I was somewhere when it did. I wasn't in alot of pain I just started bleeding. This is what happened to me. I Hope it helps.

Answer 2

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I miscarried 5 days ago. I had an ultrasound the day before which showed that my little angel had stopped growing a few weeks before. I was also 9 weeks along.

I don't know what was worse - the back pain, the cramps, or my heart breaking. I used a thermacare wrap for my back and just dealt with the cramps. I walked around a lot. It was painful but I was told that it may have helped me pass "more effectively". The cramps would get even worse and then I would use the toilet and would pass large amounts. It went on for about 12 hours; the cramps didn't die down until a day or two later.

I am so sorry. Please take care and keep heart!

Answer 3

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I won't offer any words of comfort, because I know they mean little during a time like this - I had three miscarriages.

Don't worry about it too much, it will happen when it happens. Just be prepared, usually there's some 'early' warning signs like spotting and cramps. With mine, I had my miscarriages within hours after the cramping started.

All I can add is, get some maxi-pads and keep them at hand. Wear one to bed and when you go out. When my miscarriages started I went to the toilet it made it easier for me. It may help you to do that too. If you can and feel like it, you should move around, it will ease the cramping. I took some painkillers to help me through my miscarriages, but that's up to you and how severe the cramping is.

If the bleeding remains heavy and doesn't taper off and stop completely after a few days, you should go to your doctor.

Good luck and you will get through this.

Answer 4

I am sorry that this is happening to you. I had the same thing happen a little over a year ago.

For me the cramps got worse and then like a major pulled muscle in my crotch. You can do everything normally until you are unable to go anywhere. It a lot of cramping but what was the most painful were the emotions I felt. Just take some tylenol and stay in bed when you know it is time.

Answer 5

I am so sorry,
I had gone throw the same thing in November 2006
It was a molar pregnancy the docs want me to lost it on my own I was giving 15 days it finally happen on the 11th day
you will know when the time come , you will feel hot liquid flowing from you
for now ask your husband/partner to massage your back & stomach (perferable with vics) to help
I hope the doc will have you done blood test & Ultra sound after to insure that you are completly clean
By the way eat healthy and take iron tables because you don't know how much blood you will be losing
and with the waiting to get it over with you have not grieve
get yourself ready for major depression after
I am still not over it yet but knowing that it is OK to grieve
because it is a lost after all
Take care
&
Good luck

Answer 6

I was told I would miscarry too. Every time I peed I strained my urine, watching for my miscarriage. I was fortunate, or unfortunate, I had allready had a miscarriage a few years earlier and knew what to expect. For me this miscarriage never happend, my daughter is 31 months old.

Why does doc say you will miscarry? This does not seem right to me, how does the doc know?


This is how it went for me.

I started bleeding 2 or 3 days before, some heavy duty clots.
The day I miscarried my water broke (I was 13 weeks along), it did come with menstral like cramps. This went on for about an hour, then I actually felt like I needed to push, and pushed the baby out. His heart had stopped beating before, he didn't have one in the ultrasound.

A miscarried baby looks like a formed blob, you can tell arms and legs, kinda, no hands or feet. but it has alot of white in it, not all red like a clot.

Answer 7

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I went through something similar at 4 months. The waiting was horrible. With mine there was no pain, just the test stating that the baby was no longer viable. Then came a D&C to clean out the remains of the pregnancy. The recoup time was under a week. However, find someone that you can talk to about your loss, sometimes people don't understand what we go through mentally over the loss of a child and we really need someone to understand that we lost our baby, not a fetus.

Answer 8

It might start with some spotting, cramping, or a combination of both and will continue to get heavier and more intense. It's too hard to say exactly how much it'll hurt because every woman has a different threshold of pain.

Answer 9

You will probley start bleeding & cramping then you will pass tissue. if you bleed & clot too much or get a fever go to the er. i had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. it took the hospital a week before they decided to take thebaby out by d&c. im very sorry this is happening to you.....

Answer 10

Call your doctor and tell him about your concerns. He should be able to prepare you and let you know what exactly to expect. Ask him if it's advisable to be out a lot-just in case it does happen then. I would just chill out for a while.

P.S. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you have better luck next time you try to conceive.
